There are some places in Namibia that shots can be long and some where they aren't. My thoughts are to practice with the sticks standing, kneeling and sitting. A way to practice and have more fun is to do some of it with a 22 or other light caliber gun at shorter range and use pictures from the internet or magazines of game animals to simulate field shooting. Changing position and getting the feel for setting up on sticks is pretty helpful.
The excitement in the planning and prep is a wonderful part of the process.
